Experience
The ride begins when the train slowly backs out of the station and up the vertical lift hill, pulled by a catch car. Once reaching the top of the lift, with riders facing straight down, and their legs dangling in the air, the train is released and zooms through the station heading into a 110-foot (34 m) tall cobra roll. This element contains two of the three inversions found on the ride going forward. After twisting through the cobra roll, riders then go through a 102-foot (31 m) tall vertical loop which crosses the station and hit the second vertical spike of the ride. A catch car there pulls the train up the second vertical tower, this time with riders facing the sky at the top of the tower. After the train reaches the top of the tower, it is released to cycle backward through the layout. The train then goes through the station and heads up the first vertical lift hill again, where it is caught once more and then very slowly lowered back into the station.

Famous quotes containing the word experience:
“My experience has been that work is almost the best way to pull oneself out of the depths.”
—Eleanor Roosevelt (1884–1962)
“The classicist, and the naturalist who has much in common with him, refuse to see in the highest works of art anything but the exercise of judgement, sensibility, and skill. The romanticist cannot be satisfied with such a normal standard; for him art is essentially irrational—an experience beyond normality, sometimes destructive of normality, and at the very least evocative of that state of wonder which is the state of mind induced by the immediately inexplicable.”
—Sir Herbert Read (1893–1968)
“Is it not rather what we expect in men, that they should have numerous strands of experience lying side by side and never compare them with each other?”
—George Eliot [Mary Ann (or Marian)
